>Is the gay fad over?

No.

It was never a thing expect telling people how to do it

Yeah I'm thinking it's over

I think it's just getting traction actually. With the corona shit many people got used to working remotely, so I'm guessing in the future we'll see lots of these digital nomads, especially if crypto goes up a lot.

Yes. Chiang Mai prostitutes are back in their villages farming and taking care of the pigs.
Asian countries before the lock down sent every single 'digital nomad' to their respective countries. Most of them are fucked living with their parents again.

Not to mention it's literally illegal to leave the country right now.

Well I was able to live cheaply for a few months last year by bumming around Asian countries with $70 flights between them.

Seems like it’s recovering back to normal.

>>22476584
why would they charge so much who is paying that much to fly to fucking bangkok from australia

>>22477114
>who is paying that much
No one lol. Basically you have to be rich or desperate enough to pay for the 20 empty seats around you. You already need an exemption to make the trip in the first place.

>>22476553
Yes. Thankfully.

>>22476576
lmao I hired a "digital nomad" Dude couldn't hack it in America so was working in Vietnam. Vietnamese company literally just added him to their meetings to win clients. Was getting paid like $800 and was happy because he was saving $200.

It's about 1% successful affiliate marketers, 3% successful freelancers, and the rest are losers, cripples, and general retards.

It's alive and well, if you're a degenerate ESL teacher. I was making bank teaching Chinese kids the ABC's while living in Cambodia.

>>22476553
Nah, I work fully remote anywhere now, so once corona is over, I'll be living the nomad life.

Almost invariably the same reason a white guy marries an Asian woman.

There are a few exceptions in both cases, though.

There's nothing greasier and more scummy than westerners going to Thailand/Vietnam/Cambodia

All of these people are full of the worst delusions, thinking they're worldly wise for going to some jungle country where the indigenous people all secretly loathe them, harbouring some kind of half baked naturalistic bullshit philosophy despite wanting to fly around constantly while littering up the beaches and spreading their seed to the subhuman gook whores and underage trafficking victims, it's basically a pipe of human shit flowing into the cess pool of humanity

This is a perfect example of Cope. Newfags can learn from this

digital nomad is not a meme

it's for people who work from home

>good internet

for me i either
>stay at home, work, feel depressed, pay $2000/month
OR
>go to a foreign country, explore, happy, pay less than $1500 per month

>>22478953
Phnom Penh or Siem Reap? I really miss it, and regret returning to America. Life is slow and easy, and dating was actually enjoyable in Cambodia.

Why Asia instead of Latam?

its just starting. at least 50% of software development jobs will stay fully remote after covid

I went to bali and was flabbergasted at the scummy euro mongers who were into whoring the questionably aged prossies there. Can’t imagine how it is in the more backwater locales.

>>22476553
If you're single and make a lot of money, sure being a nomad would be cool.

Otherwise, growing roots somewhere can be rewarding too.

Fuck dude. I was in Costa Rica and it was just endless fat bald british dudes with underage prostitutes everywhere. Made me mad. I was with my insatiable fiancee then so it was't jealousy breh. The reason it makes me mad was that the locals must have the lowest opinion of us Westerners with this kind of behavior.

>>22479679

>>22478866
They do bullshit jobs.
Do you guys imagine a neurosurgeon or a plumber doing this shit? Not me.
I wonder if this bubble of useless keyboard typer will ever pop, my bet is that AI will replace these jobs first.

No, it is ramping up with an updated. Look up Zoom Towns.
Everyone is fleeing the cities to remote work where they feel like. People are betting big on remote work taking over at breakneck speed thanks to the virus. This is revitalizing and reshaping the digital nomad idea. Business building are going on sale left and right as some are going completely virtual, with an occasional meeting somewhere.

It going to be a train-wreak in a year or two when everyone realizes they can't roam free and just knock out a few hours of work at their laptop now and then. It didn't work before, and it is not going to work now, such a radical change has left the infrastructure behind as it take more then an Fiber Optic line to get things done. Theoretically it could be done if we had remote robots and other things to support it, but that is still in the distance future.

>>22481464
What the fuck are you talking about? Companies are saving money hand over fist and more work is getting done. There have been vast percentages of people working from home and that number was increasing before the virus.

I swear you faggots are so fucking jealous of WFH Chads. The jealousy is palpable.

Only reason one becomes "digital nomad" is to fuck low tier yellow pussy. Basically if you can't get proper white pussy because you are turbo loser you fall for "digital nomad" meme and try to get laid with some gooks instead

I load boxes for a living at one of the most advanced factories on the planet.
And I load boxes as my job.
The fact my job even exists is proof we haven't gotten past the boots on the ground problems.

I don't really care how people work, I've worked in all kinds of places in my long life including remotely, so I got no reason to be jealous. What matters is the work gets done. I question those great gains as such things are moved by more complex market forces, and will likely change in a relatively short time once things settle down. I suspect you among many others are miss applying micro economic to a macro economic problem.

Will more people work from home and will it have benefits, Yes
Will it be the promised work from home revolution we have talked about for years, No
Will there be a negative market reaction when people realize this work from home thing has been overblown, I am betting my many years of retirement on it

There are countless tiny details that one needs to see up close and think and react to in real time. I mean I could work from home if I had a remote robot and some nice force feedback controls. But that kind of stuff is expensive so it is cheaper for a person to do it. You know why Tesla ripped out all those cutting edge robots in their Gigafactory? Humans were more adaptable and thus cheaper for the constantly changing assembly lines. You know why a electric car parts guy I know owns airplane and pilots licenses, despite all the upkeep? Because he can close bigger and better deals face to face. And that's not even going into the supply chains to keep robots and airplanes running. If it were a static open source standards it may work, but with the constant changes you need people to look at the problem, and cameras can only show so much. Like how nobody sees the giant rocket booster stuck under Starman's Tesla because the cameras and popular photo shoots never show that massive detail, and nobody will now it that it is outside of range

How do I attain employment as a foot blogger?

>>22478343
i did this! i was the cheerful white face in a suit for Samsung insurance in Saigon. it was the most hilarious job i've ever had. literally got paid $2000/mo to teach english to their managerial staff/execs 2 hours a week and to attend meetings and look professional in a suit and occasionally to record voice-overs, give presentations when they met with other companies, and sit in a cubicle near the front door that was visible through the glass from the hallway. and wear a suit. i was snorting heroin in the bathroom and having an affair with a secretary at the bank on the ground floor of the office tower, we'd go to a love hotel over lunch and she'd make me facefuck her and tie her up and stuff. Ah, Candy Nguyen.

Good times. I ended up leaving after 4 months because i honestly felt guilty about how easy it was and i was bored as fuck (also getting increasingly strung out, and Candy drifted away, and i think they started to catch on about the frequent sniffly bathroom trips and me nodding out at my desk)

i am much more responsible and off the drugs now, back in the mother country. but it was good while it lasted

my coworking tech fag friends from Chiang Mai told me the scene is mostly dead after many non-permanent expats were sent home in March and April. i imagine when (if) travel opens back up it will be more popular than ever before

>>22478558
good lord yes, move to Vietnam. Tinder in Saigon Hanoi Danang etc (and Badoo, Badoo is the best app but there are many) is a gold mine unlike anything I've ever experienced in the states. Literally meet up with a girl for coffee near your house, ask 'do you want to watch a movie' and take her back and fuck as soon as the door is closed. they are ravening for it. many are recently in the city for college from the countryside and have always dreamed about white cock after watching American movies etc.

>>22478953
whereabouts? PP or somewhere else? I lived in Kampot for a while and also sold acid on Otres Beach/Koh Rong for a month back in 2015. I miss Cambo...truly God's country. My bicycle tour from Saigon to Sihanoukville and back was one of the best months of my life

>>22482449
You've posted a wall of text with zero fucking substance. The fortune 100 company I work for has been remote years before the virus. It's saving everyone time and money, which are the two primary factors businesses care about. Your arguments are so clumsy and out of scope. Of course jobs that require physical dexterity will require you to work in person you fucking troglodyte. Seethe harder box boy.

>>22479535
i did it from age 21-27 and it was excellent. Saigon from 2010 to 2012 or 13 was like Paris in the 1920s. I kinda wish I hadn't gotten so deep into drugs but looking back I learned a lot and it made me who i am so i regret nothing.

Also I have been deep in so many beautiful women from so many different countries and made friends from around the world so if I ever end up in South Africa, Australia, any European country, most countries in Asia, several countries in Africa and the Middle East I will have a local guide and a couch to crash on, or if i get tired of life in America I can call them up and they'll help me get a shit job or whatever

travel is the best thing to do in your 20s. the world is a big place filled with awesome people and beautiful things- go experience it! if you're unhappy at home- if your life is dull and monotonous- there's nothing requiring you to stay. i mean, it's a little different because of Corona but this won't be for forever

>>22476553
Digital nomad? You mean a sex tourist with a laptop?

>>22479896
yeah after traveling for a long time i got tired of it and now have been finding the experience of putting down roots (holding down a real job, getting an advanced degree, having a long-term relationship, working on extended projects) to be very rewarding. but i'm in my early 30s now. fuck putting down roots in your 20s, especially the first half. if you don't explore when you're young you'll always regret it

I think it is coming to an end.

Hilariously, this shift to remote work is what will kill it. Used to be that companies spent most of their wagie management resources on in-office workers. But now they’ll throw all of that at remote tools.

it is not often mentioned that unless you are physically deformed or severely autistic, you don't have to pay for sex in these countries. sure you can meet locals the usual ways (tinder etc) but also you are constantly meeting other expats, many of whom are sex-starved white girls whose standards are lower because they have to compete with the comely, exotic local women.

Have you ever had a threesome with two Italian women on a secluded beach as the sun rose, using a hammock as a fuck swing? do you want to?

>>22483223
>physically deformed or severely autistic

aka the average digital nomad.

>>22483025
This debate would be a lot more interesting if you actually responded to the claims rather then coming up with clever insults. I can also cite anecdotal personal experiences at fortune 125 company, as I did in framing part of my last post.

While time and money are a major part of the business. One need to consider on a more fundamental level how the business creates value and why it exists at all. After all a business in bankruptcy liquidation is saving everyone time and money, with far less output while generating more revue from the sale of their assets. But one don't call this a good business. And we have non-profit businesses as well which flies in the face of the profit motive.

Value is a perception based. Thus one can make many types of value, which can be exchanged for many other types of value. Pick a market you think gains from this and I will try to educate you on how the root of that value will still be bounded by the boots on the ground limits.

And let me remind you before you continue that my argument is not that the is zero gains from the work from home movement, but that it is over blown and will not fundamental change things as the new normal will be similar to now once things settle down.

it can, and it has happened to me (feeling depressed in a foreign country)

i think my answer needs revision

i guess-
digital nomad is good, if you are surrounded with other people or are doing a project/activity/work

you need to have something to do while being a 'digital nomad'
-either that's travelling
-exploring
-working
-projects

you can't just go to a foreign country, stay at home on your computer, and expect to be happy (i did this and i was depressed)

need to actually do activities and try new things for 'digital nomad' to be worth it

>>22484705
It's true.
Patayya and Bangkok are empty of tourists and sexpats so no prostitutes. Gogo bars and massage parlors are closed. The whores usually go to those cities from their farm villages to work 9 months and get tourists money. Not they are trapped in their villages.

I used to think that. I often found expats in Asia a bit thick. Then I came back to the west. Either I got smarter (which seems unlikely), or everyone else got really fucking stupid.
